vPORTABLE `HEATING CABINET.

Application led December This inyention relates generally to portable fore -in providinga heaterwhich, if capable of giving a suici'ent amount of heat, could be movedwith any great facility. lt is an 'obj ect of this invention to provide a heater embodying a fuel oil burner capableof kgenerating a large amount-of heat, and installed in a suitable cabinet which is adapted to be -moved from place to place. Y

It is a more Specific object of this invention to provide a. portablel cabinet having a compartment within which a liquid fuel oil burn-` er Operates and having av second compartment arranged to hold a fuel oil supply tank. y

Other objects and advantages will become apparent from the followingdescription and` inthe accompanying drawings, in which :4

. Figure 1 is a perspective view of the preferred form of this invention. s

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section on a line 2*2 of Fig. 3 showing the interior arrangement of the operating parts.

Fig. 3 is a top plan view.

InY the preferred embodiment-,as .shown` in the drawings, the cabinet may be substantially formed throughout of sheet metal and com-f`- prises an upright case having a fronti) and'- three walls 6,7 and 8 secured together 1n any A suitable manner. The top 9- is preferably separated from the walls and the front by an offsetportion 10 which provides both an ornamental appearance and a Vmore complete.,

diffusion ofheat as will be hereinafter described. The bottom'11 which is preferably substantially heavier in construction thanthe rest of thecabinet is suitably secured, as by bolts, rivets Or the like, within the three walls and the frontnear the lower part of the case. Between theA bottom andthe lower edges of the sides and front is positioned a frame 12 in which a plurality of movable sup-' port-ing means suoli as the casters 13` are mounted 1n the customary manner. Near the bottom of the case on the three sides thereof is aisee. serial N6 l153,211.6'.

a'plurality of air inlet openings'ld; Similarly Y Toi-rice the top Q and the oifsetportionofthe top 10y are providedwithairoutletwopenings 15.

The front of thestove in-this instancehas f p upper. door 16 and a lower door` 17 through no airpassages but-is providedwith a suitable which access into-the interior Vof the cabinet is attained. Apartition 18rhaving therein a plurality of air passages 19 adjacent the riphery thereof is secured horizont-ally withinA thecabinet intermediate theends in such manner'lthat-the upper door 16 Opens inte the upper compartmentformed thereby `and ythe lower door 17 Opens into the lower compart-. i

heater-a burner system i ment. 1

Y As fin this type of capable of generating a large amount of heat is necessary, l have shown herein somewhat diagrammaticallya'commercial type of liquid fuel oil burner. The type ofburner which is most capable of successful operation in A my heater comprises a burner which7 in Operation, receives liquid fuel from a supply reservoir and by preheating the fuel Converts yit into laninflammable gas which is fedto` a plurality of burner tips where combustion occurs. `As shown in Fig. 2, the gasgenerating and burning assembly, designated generv ally as 20', is suitably supported within the .y upper -compartment as byk means vrof the brackets 21,secured to the partitionv19.Y .A

pressure supply tank 22 equippedv with asuitpump23 to the supplytanlr 22 forcesthe j liquid fuelthroughr a connecting pipe 24 to the burnerjwhere the fuel is 'converted Ainto gasjand burned. Thus the cabinet provides al burner compartment which carries .a suitn able generator 'and burner and a supply compartment arranged to hold the accessories in- .cidental tothe burner.

able Vpump 2.3 is contained in the lower comf partment.. The pressure supplied by the In orderrtodiffuse the flame'from thea" .burner and to insure a positive v heating of..v

the` air passing through the cabinet,- I have provided al suitable means inthe form of a baffle plate positioned immediately above the burner. The baffle plate in the most desirable form comprises a flat plate 25 having downwardly turned edges 26, said plate being" supported immediatelyy above the .burner by -arplurality of legs 27. In 'this position they flame from the'burner .will'impinge on the plate and will then be spread outwardly and i i no'l downwardly toward vthe sidesof the cabinet.

'.Wardl throue'h the nassao'ee n o C1 In operation when the burner is lighted the air'withinthe cabinet will be heated and by Convection Will flow outwardly through the outlet openings in the upper part of the cabinet. n drawn inwardly through the inlet openings near the bottoin'ot the cabinet, thence up- 19 in the partition to the upper compartment- Where it Will he rapidly heated by the di fused thune et the burner. f y

lt Will readily be seen that l have provided a Cabinet yarraned to Contain a liquid fuel oilhurning apparatus which capable or" generating a high degree ot heat. Moreover,

the construction ot the Cabinet is suoli that it may readily and easily he' inovedtroin place to .place Without disturbing the heatingin'ent Within. i I l claim as rny invention:V Y Antan' heater for heating the airin a room comprising, in cornhinat on en upright cahinet, a solid transverse partition intern'iediate the ends oeaid cabinet completely dividing said cabinet into an upper and a levier coin'- partnient, said cabinet having a plurality of Atthe saine tiine cool air will he Warm air outlet openings in the upper'portion Yoi the upper compartment and a plurV rality ol cold air inlet openings in the lower portion 'ot the lower Compartment, a pressure- VAoperated liquid-hiel burner system positioned Within the cabinet, said `system including a l burner mounten on Said partition centrally thereof and a liquid fuel supply and pressure Atank connected thereto and 'enclosed Within Said lower eon'ipartnient, a battle-plate mounted in saidupper compartment overlying said burner in aplaneheneath said air outletopenings and 1navi ng its edges spared ronithe side Walle ot saidupper eoinpartinenLand a pair ot doors in one Wall oit the Cabinet opening respectively into the np 3er and lower eorn- Y partinenteto give `access to saidburnerfand ltank equipi'z'ient, seid partition having a series
